Professionally Dumb

First, let me explain to you what is a professional. A professional is an individual who had been through training/education and is certified by members of a professional body. His/her career will also known as a profession. And a profession is a job where it involves membership of a certified and internationally recognized body. Any individual with such membership and/or certification is considered a professional.

Let’s take some examples. An engineer is a professional. He/she is a certified Ir. by the Engineering Council or any other recognized engineering professional body, you are called a professional. Same goes for accountants. For as long as you are certified by ACCA, you are a professional. Same goes for doctors. Even certain sports have their own professional body. Drivers’ Association, PGA, and Tennis.

Now that you have understand the concept of a professional. Think of which profession in the world that doesn’t require brains. Think of which professional is dumb.

Give yourself 10 minutes to think. Then, you may scroll down further to see my answer.

 

 

If you think it is a football player, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! But i doubt anyone would have guessed it.

Football player is the only professional where it has a football professional association body, registered, recognized by FIFA and it’s football-ing is recognized throughout the entire world as a profession that does not require intelligence.

Football is a dumb game. A football player is professionally dumb. You can argue with me but i tell you: do you need some brains to kick a ball?

Why would 22 players, TWENTY TWO PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS, chasing for ONLY ONE BALL? Isn’t that dumb? Don’t they have anything better to do?

Let’s take some professional football players for example. Is Pele smart? No, his son is some lousy goal keeper who is also a drug addict.

Is Maradona smart? He is dumb too! His Argentinean squad lose to a side while playing at high altitude. And guess what, he was the only one in the world who strongly support playing football at higher altitude. Besides, he was also an alcoholic and drug addict.

Is David Beckham smart? No. Recently, Landon Donovan called him a tightwad and also a lousy captain who failed to show his face during extra optional training sessions at LA Galaxy. Besides, who is he to help increase Major League Soccer’s standard? Even he himself couldn’t get enough of playing level in USA and ended up loaning himself to AC Milan to level-up himself.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not smart either. He has extraordinary physical abilities but he is some cocky fellow that can’t even score a single goal in two of his Champions League finals. And yet Real Madrid is dumb enough to spend a world record 80 million pounds for that dumb professional.

But there is one exception. Zinedine Zidane is not dumb. He uses his intelligence to overcome his lack of pace and agility. That is why he is the advisor to the president of Real Madrid. Still, the president is dumb enough to spend that world record fee for Ronaldo.

Enough is criticized about this professionally dumb. Football players are mostly poor and had no chance for education. Which is why they ended up being footballers. The dumb will remain as a footballer and nowhere else, the smarter ones end up in management level in football, managing other dumb professionals.

This is a respected point of view from the smartest person on the flat surface of the earth!
